Chords with lyrics

Chorus:
Bb majorBb         FF
Dear John, Oh how I hate to write
          F7F7      Bb majorBb
Dear John, I must let you know tonight

That my love for you has died,
 Bb7Bb7   Eb MajorEb
Away like grass upon the lawn
   F7F7              Bb majorBb
And tonight I'll wed another Dear John


Verse:
Bb majorBb            FF
I was overseas in battle, when the postman came to me
             F7F7             Bb majorBb
And he handed me a letter, ah, I was happy as I could be
               Bb7Bb7   Eb MajorEb
For the fighting was all over, & the battle had been won
  F7F7                    Bb majorBb
But then I opened up the letter & it started "Dear John"

Chorus:
Bb majorBb         FF
Dear John, Oh how I hate to write
          F7F7      Bb majorBb
Dear John, I must let you know tonight

That my love for you has died,
 Bb7Bb7   Eb MajorEb
Away like grass upon the lawn
   F7F7              Bb majorBb
And tonight I'll wed another Dear John


Verse:
 Bb majorBb                   FF
"Will you please send back my picture?

Cause my husband wants it now
                   F7F7
And when I tell you who I'm wedding
          Bb majorBb
You won't care dear anyhow
               Bb7Bb7
Now the ceremony has started
     Eb MajorEb
And I'll wed your brother Don
     F7F7               Bb majorBb
Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear John?
